| 3/18/26 |  On Sartre, Nothingness, and the Life You Pretend to Live | Philosophy for Sleep | Vote on what comes next: https://www.slphilosophyradio.com/voteYou are condemned to be free. Fall asleep to the complete philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre.There is no human nature to fall back on, no God-given essence waiting to unfold, no script written in advance. You exist first, and only then do you become what you make of yourself. If that thought fills you with dread, you are beginning to understand Jean-Paul Sartre.This extended episode traces the full arc of Sartre’s thought, from his early encounter with phenomenology in prewar Paris, through the monumental arguments of Being and Nothingness, to his later engagement with Marxism and political commitment. Along the way, we examine his key concepts in careful detail: the distinction between being-in-itself and being-for-itself, the experience of radical freedom, the temptation of bad faith, and the difficult project of authentic existence.Sartre refused the Nobel Prize, broke with his closest friends over political conviction, and never stopped insisting that we are responsible for everything we become. This episode takes his challenge seriously.Please listen only in safe, restful contexts.(0:00:00) Paris, War, and the Making of an Existentialist(0:21:39) Phenomenology and the Discovery of Consciousness(0:45:22) Being and Nothingness(1:07:29) Existence Precedes Essence(1:28:22) Bad Faith and the Flight from Freedom(1:49:00) Authenticity and the Acceptance of Freedom(2:10:54) The Other and Intersubjectivity(2:31:44) Nausea, Contingency, and the Absurd(2:53:15) Engagement, Politics, and Existential Marxism(3:15:44) Legacy and the Existentialist MovementSuggested Reading:Existentialism Is a Humanism by Sartre: https://amzn.to/40fzTKbBeing and Nothingness by Sartre (Richmond translation): https://amzn.to/47iYPUMNo Exit and Three Other Plays by Sartre: https://amzn.to/47yW6XoAt the Existentialist Cafe by Sarah Bakewell: https://amzn.to/4uhwhoDSartre: A Guide for the Perplexed by Gary Cox: https://amzn.to/3OO09c9Camus and Sartre by Ronald Aronson: https://amzn.to/4buTFHIThese are affiliate links.

| 3/13/26 |  Zoroastrianism | The Religion That Invented Good and Evil | Vote on what comes next: https://www.slphilosophyradio.com/voteWhere did the idea of good and evil actually come from?Before Christianity, before Judaism, before almost any tradition we can name, a priest on the ancient Iranian steppe looked at the world and saw a moral structure written into reality itself. His name was Zarathustra, and his vision became one of the most influential religious traditions most people have never heard of.This episode traces the full arc of Zoroastrian thought, from the passionate hymns of the Gathas through the cosmic dualism of Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, the revolutionary ethics of free will and the goodness of the material world, the astonishing influence this tradition exercised on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the living Zoroastrian communities that carry this ancient fire into the present.(0:00:00) Before Good and Evil Had Names(0:37:50) The Architecture of the Cosmos(1:16:19) The Choice That Makes the World(1:53:45) The Longest Shadow(2:32:22) Fire That Does Not Go OutSuggested Reading:Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices by Mary Boyce: https://amzn.to/4ugB75AZoroastrianism: An Introduction by Jenny Rose: https://amzn.to/3Pm2CKQThe Spirit of Zoroastrianism edited by Prods Oktor Skjaervo: https://amzn.to/3OWvIAmThus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche: https://amzn.to/3OM97GOFollow Sleepy Philosophy Radio for more longform philosophy.Support the channel: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sleepyphilo/subscribe | — |
